wait...they've got props...


when my daughter and her boyfriend volunteered at help-portrait with me
we had time to sneak into an empty bay after lunch


this is close to the same photo above. i just couldn't decide which one i liked best


as i was almost finished shooting
she says, "wait, they've got props"


it's sure a good thing she's a got a guy with a sense of humor like ours



and
the icing on the cake
~
this is their take on how NOT to pose for a photo
{unless of course you're a dork}
*
adult "kids" are really actually pretty darn cool to hang out with

these were all taken using only the overhead lights in the food pantry 
 ISO 1600 50mm 2.8

  18. Beth,
    Love these photos!
    Your daughter is A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!
    (And she looks like her mother!)
    What a cute couple! It must be so fun for you to be their photographer...seeing through the eyes of a mother.
    The lense unable to focus as deep as you see.
    What gifts!
    Happy Winter Solstice!
